ISS secures new long-term contract with Griffith University

ISS is pleased to announce a renewed partnership with Griffith University from July 2024. This new long-term contract is backed by the success of our ongoing collaboration, established in 2016. It expands on the current scope of services to include internal and external cleaning, hygiene services, waste removal and transfer services, and consumables supply.

A dedicated team of 190 ISS Placemakers will continue to deliver exemplary service across 5 Queensland campuses in the Gold Coast, Logan, Southbank, Nathan and Mount Gravatt.

“Renewal of our contract with Griffith University reflects ISS’s commitment to delivering quality of services in the education sector. ISS is dedicated to enhancing the best student experience and making stronger connections to their place of learning. Securing this new contract reflects our operational maturity, along with the strong reputation we have built across the education sector,” said Andrew Corones, ISS National General Manager, Specialised Services.

Strategic alignment
The continued partnership also underscores our commitment to the university’s Strategic Partnership Roadmap by delivering on the following key focus areas: Sustainability, Safety and Risk Management, Service Delivery – Best Operational Practice, Social Engagement and Community Engagement, The Student Experience, Innovation and Continuous Improvement, and Collaborative Contracting.

Within this framework, we will advance our corporate social responsibility outcomes, such as strengthening support for local suppliers, social enterprise, positive environmental results and First Peoples’ businesses. Alongside a focus on workplace integrated earning opportunities for Griffith students and Indigenous supplier development programs.

Sustainability priorities
Sustainability goals remain an imperative: to achieve 50 percent reduction in carbon emissions by 2030, including scope 3; to maximise recovery rates for organic waste generated on campus, and recycling rates for recoverable materials on campus. Across the university, we will focus on reducing carbon emission and improved biodiversity at the university.

ISS is setting new benchmarks in the education sector, through this contract, with sustainability, safety and customer-centric solutions at the forefront. We are at the leading edge of facility management, by consistently providing forward-looking and integrated services that connect people and places to make the world work better.
